Wild Skies, I could have worded my post better. I should have said that I'm unaware of any Turkish sidelocks currently in inventory with any dealers, other than SKB's. (You can see some of those, available at Jaqua's, on either the Jaqua website or Guns International). I'd be interested in knowing if there are any Dickinson sidelocks currently available for viewing here in the States. Right now I'm thinking it's a bit like Bernardelli, which was also bought out by Turks: I've seen some pictures of nice guns in a catalog, but I have yet to see any of the guns.
Woops. Need to revise the above. I do see a couple sidelock Dickinsons on GI--both a sxs and an OU--advertised by Sprague Sports.
So the only question remains: Will the latest Turkish sidelock offerings, SKB and Dickinson, sell any better than the Kimbers did? With the increases in Spanish sidelock prices, they might sell if the prices looked like a bargain. But the SKB catalog has an MSRP of $6500 on theirs. I don't think they're going to sell very well in that price range. But the Dickinsons are listed at $4,000. Maybe that's low enough for some people to take the plunge.
